Employee won't pick up personal belongings after not returning to work.

I am hoping someone has expereinced this issue or has some insight. I have an employee who took STD/FMLA but who refused to go through the appropriate interactive process. This employee is also refusing to return to work and now suing us for violation of the ADA (we wouldn't give this employee a new job of their choosing without going the through the interative process, which as stated they refused to do). The employee has been gone for 7 months, going on 4 months unapproved now and we are moving towards terminating employment. I received an email from the employee listing several non standard office supplies that the employee is claiming to belong to them (water cooler, garbage can (not kidding), office fridge, wall hangings, drawers etc...) and demanding that I take responsiblity for their safekeeping. I am located in another state and have never been to this office nor can confirm what belongs or is still in the employees office after 7 months. Since this was the first I had heard about these items, I responded saying I would not take resposibility for these items and the employee has two weeks to pick them up or I assume they don't want them. I am trying to be reasonable and if this was a case of a few standard items being placed in a banker box and UPS'd, I'd gladly have it done, but this is going to require heavy lifting and large vehicle, not to mention all items seem to be breakable. I am really pushed to my limits on trying to accomodate this person. Does anyone have any thoughts?
